Refund and Cancellation Policy

Welcome to this donations section of the website of Southern Africa Federation of the Disabled (SAFOD). We make public our policy on refund and cancellation of donations received for the cause on payment gateway as under:-

We recognize that the process of refunding money after wrongly completing the online donation can be an extremely cumbersome, as one may need to be certain that such transaction may not be subject to money laundering and/or other illegal activities. For this reason, no refund/cancellation request for the donated amount by any donor will be entertained for online donations through the online payment gateway after the donation is accepted from our Online Payment Gateway service providers, Virtual Card Services (VCS),unless it is proved beyond reasonable doubt – after thorough investigations that may involve third party law enforcers and which may take a reasonable amount of time to conclude – that such an erroneous transaction was indeed done innocently, without ill-intentions.

The only other condition a refund and/or cancellation can be consideredis in the event where a duplicate transaction occurs due to an error in the software itself.

Otherwise, once received the donation for a cause will not be refunded to the donor. No cancellation to be made. The donation will be used for the social developmental work of SAFOD.

Confirmation of transaction:

After the donor completes the donation form, the donor will be asked to confirm (which essentially means reviewing all the data entered, including particularly the amount entered) before they submit the request.This is the maximum of the measures that SAFOD and/or VCS can put in place to ensure that the responsibility for entering correct transaction is placed on the donor more than the SAFOD/VCS.
